Rising star Madeleine Madden landed the breakthrough role as Dora's school friend Sammy. The 21-year-old Picnic At Handing Rock and Tidelands actor said last year the role had been a perfect introduction to the “shock” of the Hollywood film industry.

“I think it’s good for Aussie actors like myself to work on a Hollywood movie in Australia because it’s nice to get a taste of what that’s like, but still be in Australia,” she said.

Jeffrey Wahlberg also stars in the film as Dora’s cousin, Diego, while Benicio Del Toro is the mastermind voice behind Dora’s arch-nemesis, Swiper.

Directed by James Bobin, the film was shot on the Gold Coast last year and hits Australian cinemas in September.
